MALFROY Henri or MALFROY-SAVIGNY

MALFROY Henri or MALFROY-SAVIGNY Painter of landscapes, seascapes. Post-Impressionist. Born January 15, 1895 in Martigues (Bouches-du-Rhône). Died in 1942. He apprenticed at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris with his father Charles Malfroy, with whom he is often confused. He exhibited regularly in Paris, at the Salon des Artistes Français and at the Salon des Indépendants until 1934. Adopting a technique close to Impressionism, he painted the coasts and ports of Bouches-du-Rhône and Var, but also landscapes of Paris and the banks of the Seine. Installed in Martigues, he broadens his touch, illuminates his compositions, approaching Provencal landscapers, such as Ziem. Toulon Museum: Oriental landscape
